Nebius just quietly announced its biggest strategic shift since the Yandex split.
$NBIS is going asset-light:
→ Partners finance & own the data centers
→ Nebius deploys its full software stack on top
→ Nebius sells the capacity through its own sales org
→ Rev-share, licensing fees, commissions
Translation: high-margin software revenue with almost zero incremental capex.
Volozh's own words: "much better margins than conventional wholesale bare-metal contracts."
That's a direct shot at the CoreWeave model.
The biggest bear case on neoclouds is capex intensity and dilution. This attacks exactly that.
No numbers, no partner names yet — "initial arrangements" signed. Q2 earnings July 29 just got a lot more interesting. 👀
